North Carolina Expands Betting Options with New Regulations
North Carolina is moving closer to broadening its betting landscape. The North Carolina State Lottery Commission recently approved a notice of proposed pari-mutuel rule-making through its sports betting committee.
Retail Sports Betting and Esports Expansion
This decision grants the commission’s staff the authority to proceed with implementing the necessary procedures, indicating a more structured path for expanding legal betting options in the state.
In addition to pari-mutuel betting, North Carolina is advancing towards the introduction of retail sports betting and the inclusion of esports in its online wagering offerings.
The proposed rules are now open for public feedback, with a 30-day window set to end on October 18. This period will allow for public input and potential adjustments to the regulations before final adoption.
Uncertain Timeline for Horse Racing Betting
While regulatory steps are advancing for sports and esports betting, no specific timeline has been given for the launch of horse racing wagering.
The process involves multiple elements that require further coordination. However, commission officials have emphasized their commitment to proceeding “efficiently and responsibly” to ensure a smooth implementation once all conditions are met.
